Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, it’s Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got coming up for Jaconé over this 16-day window. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are certainly some gems if you’re patient.

The first few days are pretty average, with small, short-period swell. We’re looking at clean conditions but not much power. Thursday the 6th has some rideable 5ft waves from the ENE with a 7-second period, but the energy is weak, only 401. It’s surfable but nothing to get too excited about. Friday is smaller, and Saturday the 8th is a write-off for surfing. The swell is weak and short-period, but the wind is up and messy, making it poor. Expect a few days of small, ordinary conditions through the weekend.

Now, here’s when it starts to get interesting. Sunday the 9th morning, the ocean comes alive. We’ve got a solid 7ft of SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the energy jumps right up to 1671. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead. This is a standout morning for experienced surfers. This is the kind of swell that has real push and shape to it. However, that same afternoon the wind swings onshore and gets fresh, turning it lumpy. You’ll want to get out early to catch the good part.

The swell from Sunday hangs around through the middle of the week but the wind is onshore and choppy, so it’s messy. Monday and Tuesday will be big but messy, with cross-onshore winds and rain on Tuesday. Not the best windows. By Wednesday the 12th morning, the wind backs off to a light cross-offshore, cleaning up that 7ft of S swell. That’s another solid call for experienced surfers, with energy at 1350. It’s still got some size but is much cleaner.

Thursday the 13th morning sees a gentle offshore wind and 6ft of S swell, making for very good conditions. This looks like a great, clean day. Then after a few average afternoon sessions, Friday the 14th morning is a proper glass-off. The wind is dead calm and this long-period S swell, a 16-second monster, is pushing in at 4ft with energy of 1181. It’s a beautiful, clean morning of powerful, peeling waves. A real standout.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th gets messy again with onshore winds. There’s plenty of size, over 7ft, but the quality drops off, and Saturday afternoon is just onshore mush. The 16th is cleaner with a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is shorter period and a bit jumbled.

Looking into the second week, things are promising but less certain. Monday the 17th afternoon, there’s a big push of SE swell, up to 10ft, with strong offshore winds. The energy is huge at 2233, but that’s getting serious. This is only for experts, and it might be too big for this break. It will be powerful and heavy, a real handful.

After that, we settle back down to more moderate, fun-size waves. Tuesday the 18th has clean 6ft E swell with offshore winds – a nice, clean day. Then we get a bit of a lull mid-week with smaller surf. The period drops off and the energy weakens.

The forecast for Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st shows the next solid pulse. Friday the 21st morning looks fantastic on paper: a 7ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period, clean offshore winds, and energy of 1496. It’s another classic Jaconé morning. So, those are the real standouts: Sunday morning the 9th, Friday morning the 14th, and the long-range call for Friday the 21st. Get on them if you can.

Remember, there will be some bigger, messier days too. When it’s over 8ft and the wind is onshore, it’s probably more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers. Stay safe.
